Um. I can really ask for more than the sunshine 24 00:02:07.039 --> 00:02:10.680 in the sky and having the boys share with me. There you go, 25 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.479 man, there, he can't ask for anything more than that. And I'll 26 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.280 tell you what, man, I'm I'm kind of excited. I'm kind of 27 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:23.719 excited this collision U ended up being a really really good show. Uh you 28 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:30.680 know, and and and what about the opening monologue by mister see him punk? 29 00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:37.000 I mean he just mean, what was what was the line he used? 30 00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:39.120 Uh? Oh gosh, what was it? Uh? Uh he didn't 31 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:44.039 get the line on the counterfeit bucks that he yeah, I did. So. 32 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:51.159 He says that David Saslov caused him quote one Bill Phil because he is 33 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:58.919 the one true, genuine article in a business full of counterfeit Bucks, that's 34 00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:04.400 him. Yeah, I believed he dropped the gun with their a MAV. 35 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.639 What did you like your said? I honestly thought that he's kind of blurring 36 00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:14.400 the lines here between k fame and reality to an extent, because that kind 37 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.319 of felt like maybe there's still some beef there that he's holding onto, maybe 38 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:20.080 he still wants to get at them a little bit. But I've read a 39 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.560 little bit online something about that he's been told not to speak with the Bucks 40 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.919 or Kenny at this point, I'm a little intrigued to see a little bit 41 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.080 more on that. What do you think that's going on with that Mark Man? 42 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:34.919 I think their air and their dirty business a little bit, and it's 43 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:39.039 not exactly the best thing, but it does make for entertaining TV. I 44 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:43.520 mean, what do you think rock So, you know, as we know, 45 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.080 CM Punk opens the show to a hero's welcome, comes out. He's 46 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:51.599 still running his mouth about how he's better than everybody in a company. And 47 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.280 to add to this insult, if you would say, he says that there's 48 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:59.960 nobody in the company that can fill his boots. That's what was the reference 49 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.680 to why he was wearing the boots, trying to make us think he was 50 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:06.080 gonna have his uh swan song and leave, but it was just to prove 51 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:10.520 another point, saying that nobody can fill his boots. So, um, 52 00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.360 I like him coming out being brash and you know, just being seeing punk 53 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:16.920 with this seeing punk that we've come to known over the years. Yeah, 54 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:21.120 and the red bag and the red bag with the belt. Uh you know, 55 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.319 I mean it was a strong opening. You expected something to the you 56 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:34.920 know, something like this need delivered. He delivered pretty good. And uh, 57 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.240 man, I tell you what, guys, let's just jump into the 58 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:43.480 first match. Man. They started off kind of heavy with Lucas Lucasaurs and 59 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:48.240 Christian with Warlow for the title right out of the you know, right out 60 00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.920 of the gate. I mean, uh Maverick, I mean, this was 61 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.160 pretty good, pretty good little start of things. Yeah, I agree. 62 00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.680 Uh, I admit, they are two bigger men, so it's going to 63 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.480 be a little bit slower as it is. But I feel like he was 64 00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:05.319 crazed properly, you know what I mean. They're not over rushing, they're 65 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:10.120 not running all over the place, and with their athletic abilities, they showed 66 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:13.959 it. They showed feats of strength and Christian doing a great job of being 67 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.360 the heel and everything, and you know, ending the match the way that 68 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.519 it did. I don't want to give well, actually, I should get 69 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.360 so much way this podcast about the show. They shouldn't know already what happened, 70 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:26.720 But just having him intervene to build on his heel character a little bit 71 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.879 and then him taking the credit for the win, it was a nice moment 72 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:30.800 to watch. I really enjoyed it. What do you think, Rocky, 73 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:34.720 Uh, it's funny that you mentioned that part of a Christian taking the credit. 74 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.319 I got a good, good crack out of that when he grabbed a 75 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:43.160 title and celebrating like he won it. Uh. Yeah, I was glad 76 00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.000 that came out the gates with this one. You know, first I expected 77 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.439 him to actually, Um, I like Warlow. The guy's got a good 78 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:54.279 look. Um. You know, he's not as muscular. He reminds me 79 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:58.000 of of a Batista, not as muscular, more agile, but just as 80 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.439 powerful. When he when he hit that power bomb on Luca Sours, it 81 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.399 looked very seamless. Um. And then you know, Christian takes the chief 82 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:08.240 shot at the end and helps him get the one, two three, and 83 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:13.360 this was actually Luca Source's first chance at the teamt title. So even though 84 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:17.360 he wanted an underhanded way, Um, I'm a hill through and through, 85 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:24.639 so I was okay with him. The heel came out. Uh, well 86 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.639 that's good man, the match's good. Uh, you know, Christian, 87 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.920 Uh, he's being Christian. Uh you know. Uh, he is definitely 88 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:39.879 setting himself up for them to have matches on down the road when he takes 89 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.519 all the credit and eventually uh, you know, Luca SARTs that will stand 90 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.519 up to you know so. I mean it's a good storyline build, I 91 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.879 think, you know so. And and then look, guys, after that, 92 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.800 they do a quick little promo with a Powerhouse man. Uh now, 93 00:06:55.879 --> 00:07:00.199 I think Powerhouse is definitely going to be uh some body the bill know, 94 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:06.279 I mean a rocky opinion on Powerhouse again, another guy with a good look, 95 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:11.000 very muscular. The test is going to be is if he can have 96 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:16.600 those five Star Classic matches. Maybe not ready for you know, Aw's title 97 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:21.560 yet, but the first step for him would be winning the Owen Heart Tournament, 98 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.439 which is what this promo was about. So we'll see what he does 99 00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:30.639 in the tournament going forward and take it from there. Madge Hampan he talks 100 00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:34.480 about him. So I agree. I believe that Powerhouse Hobbs is a diamond 101 00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:38.120 in the rough. He is going to be I don't want to say the 102 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.199 complete future, but I feel like he's going to have a future in the 103 00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.319 company. He's going to be something. Whether he stays with the company, 104 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:47.680 whether he goes to WWE, depends on his skill level, how well that 105 00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.720 he improves himself, and where he wants to go with his career. I 106 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:56.120 feel like he's going to have a good future in the wrestling business as long 107 00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.279 as he keeps his nose clean. Honestly, I think his matches have been 108 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.360 pretty good so far and his uh for almost having cut pretty well, So 109 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.639 I good opinion on Yeah, I agree, I agree, Bosie Man, 110 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.399 I think Powerhouse has got a bright future. Uh. And I made a 111 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.319 little note uh so apparently it's stuck out to me at the time when I 112 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:22.959 was doing watching the show. But the announcers announcers, I'm just, uh, 113 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:24.920 I'm gonna give it a little while, you know, I'm gonna give 114 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:30.439 it a little while. But I wasn't too too high on the announcers. 115 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.759 Uh. But I tell you one thing, UH that right after that, 116 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:41.039 you've got the House of Black and uh and and and look, Rocky, 117 00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:48.480 are you better at saying on his name better l Itta Lore versus Buddy? 118 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.480 Yeah? And I had to practice a little bit myself. I got it. 119 00:08:54.320 --> 00:09:00.200 Uh and and Maverick, you actually uh spotted something. What do you 120 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:05.000 say about the announcers when they were announcing mister Matthews. So I noticed as 121 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:09.480 soon as he was making his entrance and walking out with Julie Hart, the 122 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:15.440 first thing that you hear is uh from the House of Black Buddy Murphy. 123 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.360 Now, all the mistakes happen, but come on, man, that's another 124 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:22.000 company's name for him. You don't want to make that kind of mistake. 125 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.879 Wow, I miss that. Oh that was pretty pretty good. But man, 126 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:33.159 look, uh Matthews is built himself up. Man he I love the 127 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.840 look he's got in this match with Uh. I don't want to say mister 128 00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:46.600 Flayer uh uh Andre uh man he his comeback match. I mean, uh, 129 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:50.080 I think it was good. I mean, what are you guys thinking? 130 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.080 Well, I've always liked Andrew Day. Um. I like both these 131 00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.879 measures actually, especially with their time. Aw. I really enjoy Johnny's working 132 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.519 nxt um I don't think Buddy ever got the paper pushingwe But one thing I 133 00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:11.159 don't understand about him is why he didn't change the name when he joined the 134 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.440 House of Black or just joined a w period that mishap that you talked about 135 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.360 them called him Murphy, that that wouldn't have happened if they changed his name. 136 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.759 Um. I don't know if you guys realize how it sounds, but 137 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.840 when they announced House of Black, Malachi Black, Brodie King and Buddy Murphy, 138 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:33.480 like just just imagine if this was attitude error with Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness 139 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:39.600 coming to the ring, the Undertaker Viscera the Brood and Buddy Matthews Like, 140 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:45.840 it doesn't work. I never thought of it like that. That's actually it 141 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:50.240 sounds a little May Barrier. Yes, it's kind of sounds like, all 142 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:54.639 right, we've got this really dark and brooding guys, we have a cave 143 00:10:54.960 --> 00:11:01.120 the Destroyer and Dave or just something stupid exactly. Yeah. But the match, 144 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.759 guys, hey, I gotta say the match was a burner, man. 145 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:09.639 It was. They toured up uh Andretti uh catching themself on the ropes 146 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:15.600 and doing the little hanging out and uh doing a cartwheel and then having the 147 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.440 timing to come off of that that with the cartwheel off you know, off 148 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:24.840 the apron like that, I mean, and even the court screw uh when 149 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:31.159 he went after a court screw leg drops when he was going after buddies buddies. 150 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:35.759 Uh, I mean pretty freaking good. I mean, you know, 151 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.159 for at least from my point of view, both these guys have always had 152 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.759 good timing in the ring. Uh, you know, technical and the high 153 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.799 fiing moves. So putting these two together, you know, you can't go 154 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.399 wrong. These guys could wrestle every day of the week and eats you know, 155 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:54.600 twice on Sundays, have a great match every time. Yeah, and 156 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:56.840 uh, I believe the announcer said between the two of them, they had 157 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:03.519 like thirty four years experience, and I don't think they mentioned that Andretti had 158 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:09.600 most of all of that. But still he ends with a figure four and 159 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:15.679 then with a tribute to his lovely wife, he jacks it up to a 160 00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:18.360 figure eight and wins the match. I mean, what about that? In 161 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:24.440 every what about that? In? So it was enjoyable. I felt like 162 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.759 the tribute was very nice to see just between husband and wife and everything. 163 00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.799 And uh, I really enjoyed afterwards Andree doing the face thing, walking over 164 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.639 trying to be supportive of a buddy at that moment. And I'll be honest, 165 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.440 this is where I feel like Julia Hart needs a little more to her 166 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.360 character. She needs something a little bit, I don't know, something natural 167 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.120 to her, something so that maybe she can be the one that makes the 168 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.679 lights drop or something she raises her hand up or something. It's just seeing 169 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:58.279 her just kind of blankly stand outside the ring. It's like as if Wednesday 170 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:05.799 Adams is a part of a w now. But yeah, overall the match 171 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.919 was very good. I think Andrede is a very good performer. His performance 172 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.399 in that was almost seamless, in my opinion. I really enjoyed seeing everything 173 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:18.559 that he was doing. The Courtscrew's dak car wheel on the apron, that 174 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.759 was very impressive to me. And did you happen to notice that either one 175 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:28.320 of y'all happened to notice when he when Andretti was thrown out of the ring 176 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.840 one of the times he put his hand up for a small kid told him 177 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:37.039 up and then he had ring. Now, if you're getting ring side and 178 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.799 you're twelve years old and a wrestler reaches out for you to help him up. 179 00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.960 That's got to be a one once in a lifetime kind of That was 180 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.879 cool. That was really cool, But it was so subtle. I don't 181 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.720 know if a lot of people even saw it and just fairly noticed it. 182 00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:54.600 And I thought it was very cool to see. I thought that would be 183 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.559 such an awesome, once in a lifetime moment for a fan to be able 184 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.159 to help up one of their hairs that moment, Rocky, What didn't you 185 00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:07.360 think do we think that the baby face tactics that he's taking with you know 186 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.279 two with the kid, and do we think that's going to be a sign 187 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:16.960 of his push in AW or do we think that the figure a salutes Charlotte 188 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.879 is a sign of him leaving AW and going back to w W. That's 189 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:24.639 what that's That's what it made me think when he get the salute to her 190 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:30.960 with the defense, that's good. I like that. I mean that's a 191 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:35.559 very good point. Um And personally I think they're gonna put as a as 192 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.679 a you know, the baby face. Um, we'll see on that, 193 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:45.000 but that was that was a very good uh uh point to bring up. 194 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.519 What do you say there Maverick. So I'm not sure that he's gonna leave 195 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:54.440 AW yet. I think it's definitely possible in the farther future. But considering 196 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.159 where he is, I feel like he's going to get a push right now, 197 00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:03.159 I think astutely the next step for him, where did they push him? 198 00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.240 Because you have warloaded the baby face Team TEA champion. Do you think 199 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.759 he's ready for the AW scene or does Warlow drop it to a keel and 200 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:16.320 then Andretti gets pushed him to a Team TU title push? Well? Uh, 201 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:24.120 considering that, uh for us just one being uh well, Lucasaurus Christian, 202 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.799 I should say, well, you know that title you show, right, 203 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:30.360 we were just talking about it, so that actually seems kind of perfect. 204 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:33.799 Yeah, so it does seem like a perfect fit to slowly slide him 205 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:37.320 in. Whether he wins it immediately or not, it doesn't really matter. 206 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.039 I feel like he could go for the a W Championship and it would be 207 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.120 fine. He could work his way up. I'd be fine with me, 208 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:46.759 honestly, with the way he performs. Yeah, the ending of the match 209 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.639 I thought was great. Man. Uh, you know, it sets up, 210 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.080 it sets it up, you know. Uh, and hey, guys, 211 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:58.120 after that man. They actually did a like we had Thorpio Sky siding 212 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.600 and Romo, and you know, I hadn't seen a lot of him, 213 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:06.960 but man, man, he's really good in the Ring Man, so maybe 214 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.799 they're going to give him something, a little taste of spare time. I 215 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:15.480 mean, have you what's your opinion on Scorpio. I totally agree a boy 216 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:19.279 him is a ring ability. I like the Vina they gave us. He 217 00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:23.000 sounded very confident. He sounds like he's going to be on a war path. 218 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:30.279 But we'll see. What about you, Marrick. I think that he's 219 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.440 going to come out swinging immediately once he makes us big. I want to 220 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.000 call it a return because I'll be honest, I haven't really been watching it 221 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:40.200 as much lately, but after this, he's going to be on a war 222 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:42.679 path, I believe as well. I've always been a fan of Scorpio Sky. 223 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:47.240 I really enjoyed Sokal and Censor and what they did. It's a little 224 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:48.759 sad to see Frankie Kassarian go, but you know, it is what it 225 00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:53.000 is, part of the business. But I've always enjoyed Scorpio Sky is in 226 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:59.120 Ring and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of him, absolutely absolutely, 227 00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.359 man, so, uh didn't they do? We got Tony nice coming out 228 00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:11.440 with Mark Sterling and uh yeah, tries to do the Richard Simmons exerc class 229 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:21.240 a course at the entrance of and finally Miro and I think he looked good. 230 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:22.880 He looked good in the ring. I didn't see too much ring rust. 231 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:30.359 I mean, what's your know Miro's return, Maverick good ticket first man. 232 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.160 Miro is just always enjoyable for me to see, And I'm not sure 233 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.480 why. Maybe it's just memories from the russe of day or on whatnot, 234 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:42.440 but it's just always entertaining to see him. He's I don't know how to 235 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:47.400 describe his ringability. Besides, he's larger than most people, but he can 236 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:51.240 move still to the point where he's entertaining. His character is a little bit 237 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:52.559 flat in the way up. He just kind of comes in, destroys and 238 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.920 leaves. But at the same time, I believe so's brock Lesner, But 239 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.079 I don't know. It's just always fun to watch as Mirro comes into the 240 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:04.559 ring and does a thing. What do you think about Mirror? Yeah, 241 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:10.000 I've always liked him ever since Russive, you know, Chemistil w W as 242 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.799 a heel um russif deck. It's kind of got him a nervous really fast, 243 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:18.240 but I've always liked his ring ability. Um, when he was announced 244 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.039 to come back, we knew this was whoever was going to be out in 245 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:23.160 the ring was going to be the bank. We knew it was going to 246 00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:27.079 be a dominant squash match and more like it was gonna be a submission. 247 00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:32.279 Um. I don't know if they should keep on re establishing him this way 248 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:36.720 because he's already established himself. He's an established star. But I guess to 249 00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:38.200 get his feet way and get him back, just get a little bit of 250 00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:41.720 r rushed off. But I hope they do something significant with him. Um. 251 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.559 I wouldn't mind him going for that AW title because he's already passed the 252 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:51.720 team tier. So again with him a new return, we'll see where they 253 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:57.519 go with it. Absolutely absolutely, man hero, it's all about the riding 254 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:00.640 with him. If they can just put the right storyline and the right person 255 00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:03.920 in there, I think he could. You know, they could do the 256 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.359 wass Yeah, I think he can. He is capable of, you know, 257 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:11.880 putting together three or four good barn burner matches UH on pay per view. 258 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:18.839 But man, after that, they they go into some promos, you 259 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:22.559 know and giving a little giving us a little teas on what was to come, 260 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.599 and they really played up, uh that their money's worth out to see 261 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:33.440 him and in particular Ship you know, the promos and everything else. So 262 00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.160 you know, not a lot you can say about that. But we did 263 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.480 go into a match with the ladies, uh, and with the outcast that 264 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:48.359 they call them Rudy Soho and uh Tony storm going against in her hometown sky 265 00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.240 Blue. Uh and you know, I mean, and with her mom there 266 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:59.440 and Willing Willow nighting games. Uh. Somebody helped me on this one, 267 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:06.920 somebody. I'll take this from real quick. Tony Stormer Ruby. I can't 268 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:08.200 decide if I liked them more as a heel, because, like I said, 269 00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:11.920 I'm a heel through and drew, But I kind of like where they 270 00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:17.599 were as baby faces, but now they're just literally swaps over with Sorayah and 271 00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:22.279 then you have brit and them and her crew. Now they're baby faces. 272 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:23.880 So from one years to the next, it kind of just threw me off 273 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:27.680 that the ladies literally swap through Ladiser heel through Laser Bay face and then they 274 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:32.559 swap. But as far as the match goes, yeah, you got Willow 275 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:36.240 Nightingale, which was the New Japan strong Woman Championship, and I don't know 276 00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:40.000 if either of you know how she won it, but she did beat Mercedes 277 00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:45.279 money Ka Saha Banks. This was and this was an audiball called during the 278 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:52.480 match because New Japan had created this title four Monee or Banks when she resigned 279 00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:55.720 a long term vieer earlier this year. But during the match she suffer for 280 00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:59.960 the broken angle, so they called it an audible during the match for Nightingale 281 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:04.359 to take the win. I haven't seen this girl's work much. I've seen 282 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:07.960 Sky Blue a bit. She's still a little green, but she's you know, 283 00:21:08.079 --> 00:21:12.559 working her way up. The match had a well, I guess, 284 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:18.160 the poetic endy with the spray paint. So that's what a pretty much what 285 00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.079 I have to say about there. What do you guys think? There? 286 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.240 Go ahead there, Maverick, give me so all right? So in my 287 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.880 notes about this, I actually told you about this a little bit earlier. 288 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:33.920 Mark. I thought that Ty Blue coming out in front of her hometown, 289 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:37.599 that's always going to be a nice poetic moment. I saw her cheer up 290 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:38.680 a little bit and wipe her face, and all I was thinking was off, 291 00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:42.559 that's kind of cute to see. But I remember for the past couple 292 00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:45.599 of years, all I've ever really seen of sky Blue was she was more 293 00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:49.920 or less a jobber for Jade Cargill. That's all I really remember of her. 294 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:55.119 She's, you know, just kind of that girl who looks like she 295 00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:59.319 could have a little bit of potential, and I think she has some after 296 00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:02.640 today's match. She so she showed some athleticism, but during this match, 297 00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:07.400 I felt like she was the only one who really did anything. Besides Willow 298 00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:12.000 had a little bit of offensive in there, but it didn't really feel like 299 00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:15.000 that much of a match. It felt like it was just more or less 300 00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.960 of a feel good movie moment to see a sky Blue wind over, you 301 00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:22.079 know, these heels in her hometown, in front of her mom in the 302 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.319 front row, and everything enjoyable. But I kind of saw it less as 303 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.119 a wrestling match and more of just a feel good movie moment than anything. 304 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:34.400 What you think, Mark, I like to feel good movie part there. 305 00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.759 You know, Willow had a couple of short arm clotheslines that were pretty good, 306 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:44.680 and she did the pump handle slam so but yeah, other than that, 307 00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:47.759 uh yeah, it was it was just kind like a feel good I 308 00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:52.720 guess I liked the way. But and then right after that they do a 309 00:22:52.799 --> 00:23:00.440 quick little Ricky Starks promo and and Ricky Stark you know, I'm still I'm 310 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:06.640 still out on defense about him. I mean, I know what, I 311 00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:07.440 don't know. What what do you think? What? What do you guys 312 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:15.039 think? Rickie starts seemed like he was about to be have a nice push, 313 00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:18.279 and then they defated him, and then he was about to get another 314 00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.720 push, and then he was deflated again. UM. I like the kid. 315 00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.039 I like his mic work, UM like his in scale, his moveset 316 00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:34.000 UM. I think he just needs that that one solid rivalry to solidify him 317 00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:41.240 as a as a top tier star like a AW championship contender. Always um, 318 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:44.039 even in a loss, used to see him as a contender, like 319 00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:47.519 how we view or how we used to view seth Rawlins. No matter how 320 00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:49.880 many losses he would take, we still saw him as a top tier contender. 321 00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:56.079 But Rickie is just not there yet. I like that. I like 322 00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:00.799 that math what you got. So I have to agree with you on this 323 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:04.119 one here, Rocky. I think he has a pretty good amount of main 324 00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:08.519 event potential. I feel like they have been kind of teasing a push almost, 325 00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:11.160 it feels like, because like they start too and then they pull back 326 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:15.039 on it. I'm not really sure why they keep doing that. I think 327 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:19.359 is Mike work is good in ring. He is I want to say good 328 00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:22.559 enough, but he's better than good enough, you know what I mean. 329 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:26.519 He heilds in there and he performs enough that I actually feel entertained and I 330 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:30.200 want to watch his matches. That's the way I want to put it. 331 00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.160 I feel like he wills to push somewhere in the near future. It's just 332 00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:38.400 I honestly like a year or two, because they just keep starting and then 333 00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:41.319 stopping with him because I don't think they know what to do with and they 334 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:45.480 have so many of these bigger names on the board right now, you know. 335 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:52.480 Yeah, yeah, I will say I thought he was gonna he is 336 00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:55.720 good with the stick and we will just have to bee how that's gonna go. 337 00:24:55.920 --> 00:25:00.160 And and look, I'm gonna I'm gonna jump off key for a second. 338 00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:03.759 And uh right when this uh right, when we're getting ready to bring 339 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:08.960 the acclaim mount for their little pot. They ran a commercial and I hadn't 340 00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:15.039 seen booking yet. Uh they're doing uh something that happened when I was a 341 00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.920 childhood They had the old two below concession stand. They're gonna have a match 342 00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:26.000 coming up that they're doing like a concession stand match with Briscoe and uh and 343 00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:29.759 and Jared. So I'm really interested to see. I don't know if you 344 00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.799 guys, I hope you've seen the two Below brawl, but it is a 345 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:41.559 classic, and if you haven't seen it off, that's gotta be that this 346 00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.880 is either going to be really good or they're gonna suck it up really bad. 347 00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:53.400 But what about the acclaim many clothes? I mean, come on, 348 00:25:53.519 --> 00:26:00.640 come on, give me something, give me something good, be acclaimed. 349 00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.680 I'll be honest. The best part about them at this point is their promos. 350 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.039 They come out and they do the whole quote unquote scissor Me Daddy thing. 351 00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:14.519 It's so juvenile and it's funny, but honestly, it works good enough 352 00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:17.839 if the crowd loves it. It's funny enough to keep me entertained, and 353 00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:21.279 I'm okay with watching it. I'm fine with them because of how goofy they 354 00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:26.160 are. You know, what do you think Rocky so so my girlfriend watches 355 00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.319 ww with me. Right, we watched it religiously. Aw I mostly watched 356 00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:33.319 highlights last night. It was the first time that she saw the Claim come 357 00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:38.359 out with their scissor Me shirts, and her first thought is excuse me, 358 00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:45.200 Like, how was this allowed on TV? I didn't have a response. 359 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:48.319 I'm like, people love it. People are cheering, they do their little 360 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:52.480 rap. You know, they're colorful, and you know they're over That's all 361 00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.319 there is to it. And then you have a legend with Daddy Ass and 362 00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:00.000 she's like who, I'm like Daddy Ass and she's like like it just blew 363 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:04.039 her mind that somebody could be named is in today's wrestling with the way how 364 00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:08.319 sensitive society is, and you know, with everything going on in the world. 365 00:27:08.440 --> 00:27:12.920 So I'm like, it's wrestling. It's a fantasy world. There's things 366 00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:17.559 that we can get away with today that we couldn't get away with twenty years 367 00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:19.359 ago. And there's things twenty years ago that we could that we got away 368 00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:22.240 with it we can't get away with today. It's just a nature of the 369 00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:29.000 business and when we hear those things, it's kind of normal. Explaining you 370 00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:33.880 to a non wrestling fan is like, oh, yes, so his name 371 00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:41.000 is what Daddy what? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it is kind of 372 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:44.599 interesting and you know what, I tell you what I saw or I got 373 00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:49.279 a lot of response from people that actually haven't watched a e W yet. 374 00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:53.640 And for some reason, I think the show had a lot of first time 375 00:27:55.119 --> 00:28:00.839 viewers, which is great for their business. I mean absolutely, but I 376 00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:03.920 was a little shocked at that, you know, that that many people for 377 00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:07.640 some reason thought this was the show to first to start off watching, you 378 00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:11.039 know. So, I mean that's kind of kind of cool, I guess, 379 00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:12.240 you know, for a company to have something like that, you know. 380 00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:18.920 Uh oh, and and they and they and they involved Tony Shivani and 381 00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:23.839 uh and the scissors too, so I oh, just seeing that it was 382 00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:27.599 like watching an awkward dad trying to be a part of his kids cool thing 383 00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:30.480 that they came up with quote unquote, and then they just all run in 384 00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:33.319 and do it, and he's just kind of awkwardly going along with it. 385 00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:38.440 Yeah. A nice kick out of that too. That was kind of a 386 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:42.599 feel good moment as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can see 387 00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:48.039 that. But all right, now, now we've got the main event upon 388 00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:55.920 us, and that's the Bullet Club with a Switchblade, Jay White and Juice 389 00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:02.000 Robertson with with that voice. His voice, it's just like a carnival guy, 390 00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:06.880 you know. And then Samoa Joe going against FDR and see them Punk 391 00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.440 and they even came out with their own jackets that said FDR. So yeah, 392 00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:15.880 So, I mean, I thought it was a good match here. 393 00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:19.079 Let's let's see what Let's go around here and see what you guys saw. 394 00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:23.880 So I noticed the ring gear first as well the jackets, and then I 395 00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:30.680 noticed the fcr's trunks had Punk's logo on it, and then they were also 396 00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:36.440 rainbow colored team. Maybe they were celebrating fright months like the rest of the 397 00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:40.839 world. I don't know. Maybe they just decided to come up with this 398 00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:49.839 color scheme together as a trio. Um solid match Punk's interest. I expected 399 00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:52.240 them to cheer for him the way they did at the opening show, but 400 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.920 his interests seemed kind of flat to me, and I was wondering why I 401 00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:00.960 didn't see as many signs in the I don't know if they're doing signing restrictions. 402 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:04.880 Um, you know, when I saw the camera pan to the crowd, 403 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:08.279 like nobody was really standing on their feet, so that kind of threw 404 00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:12.240 me off Punk. Punk did shave his head, which actually makes him look 405 00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:15.839 not as old as before with the long hair, which you can see when 406 00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:18.599 you can see all his white hair. Um, I really shouldn't be, 407 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:21.640 you know, talking down a white hair because you know I'm the silver Fox, 408 00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:26.319 but you know I make it look good. We got those Holy s 409 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:29.359 chants when some other Joe got in the ring. Um, you know in 410 00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.640 this dates back to him and Punk's rivalry from oh four from rwight. So 411 00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:40.640 it's a nice Holy s chance there. M J. White hit this beautiful. 412 00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:44.359 You were nagay on Punk about halfway through the match. Um looked like 413 00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:48.240 FTR botched the finish at the end and Punks didn't really look at him pactful 414 00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.480 overall. I think it was about fifteen to eighteen minute match. Definitely wasn't 415 00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.319 a barn burner. But again you have a returning C and Punk. We 416 00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:02.440 knew that we're going to take the win, get a you know whatever nine 417 00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:04.960 months Rusty has off and again with him, we're off to the races and 418 00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:10.000 see what they're gonna do with him. What do you guys got? Yeah? 419 00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:18.400 And that didn't that ground I was looking for. So watch the match 420 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:23.640 it was entertaining, it was relatively clean, I want to say, but 421 00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:29.559 like you said, Punk's GTS didn't really look like it hit correctly or maybe 422 00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:34.359 sorry, didn't quite hit as hard as we would normally see. But while 423 00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:38.720 watching all I was kind of thinking, is I enjoy seeing Switchblade j White 424 00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:44.000 and seeing Juice Robinson as well? We're not really seeing any real offense from 425 00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:47.960 him. You're kind of seeing a kick, punch, irish whip into the 426 00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:49.920 corner type of thing, which I guess is typical and tag matches. But 427 00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:53.880 I don't know, I just kind of missed seeing Jay White and Juice Robinson 428 00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:56.240 and Samal. Joe did his thing a little bit. You know, he's 429 00:31:56.640 --> 00:32:00.359 the big guy in the match. He's going to do the feat of strength 430 00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:02.480 and go blow for blow with somebody a little bit, so he was used 431 00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:07.000 correctly, I felt like, But I don't know, it just didn't feel 432 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:12.160 quite as I would have liked and perfect to how I would have imagined seeing 433 00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:15.160 all these big names in the ring at once. Because I believe FTR is 434 00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:20.839 probably the best tag team to date in my opinion, seem punk I can 435 00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:22.920 understand they're gonna take it slow with him because They used him pretty sparingly up 436 00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:25.920 until the end, I want to say, and then the last like five 437 00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.319 minutes. I think they really had him court it on at the end, 438 00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:34.359 being involved in the match sort of say, but yeah, it was a 439 00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:38.200 good match overall. Yeah. Well, well, because this was a big 440 00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:44.119 event with the returning Punk on a debuting event, with Gligion being this is 441 00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:49.519 its debut nite, I expected a better man evan, not better participant, 442 00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:53.359 just better end ring overall quality of the match, and these six guys I 443 00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:58.519 expected it, but we didn't get it. They got enough time to do 444 00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:01.839 it, but for whatever reason, they were taking and slow and you know, 445 00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:07.559 the Hills didn't get there enough offense to make a look competitive. Yeah. 446 00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:12.599 Yeah, I thought the match was was pretty good. I thought that 447 00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:17.000 the love fest that they were showing see him Punk with the logo on their 448 00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:22.440 trunks, and it was a little funny. The signs, Yeah, they 449 00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:25.640 did have some weird ones that I didn't understand, but yeah, I think 450 00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:35.480 they may have been I'll probably hear about hopefully coming up. But yeah, 451 00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:38.680 overall, I think the match was you know, i'd say a B match, 452 00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:42.920 you know, something like that, and I would actually try to pull 453 00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:45.279 off any But you know, sometimes you're only as good as what you're in 454 00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:50.039 there with. And with see him punk having a little ring rush maybe and 455 00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:54.079 you know, just maybe. I wonder if people are worried about his opinion 456 00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:58.039 of them too, So that is that's gonna you know, everybody wants to 457 00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:01.240 over sell for him. That's pretty much his show. I think, you 458 00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:07.119 know, that's pretty much his show. But overall, man, I'm gonna 459 00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:10.760 give a if you could give a grade to the show, uh you know, 460 00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:14.159 mad, what would you what kind of grade would you give the show 461 00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:19.840 overall? For the show itself, I would give it a I want to 462 00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:22.840 say, a solid be honestly, overall, it's not bad, but it 463 00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:27.719 definitely could have been better. Overall, you know, it's entertaining, its 464 00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:30.840 acceptable for what it was, but I kind of expected a little bit more 465 00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:34.920 out of a first time. This is the first show, and you know, 466 00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:38.760 I kind of wanted just a little bit more. Um, I'm a 467 00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:44.239 guilt. I was actually gonna go beat plus because of the returns that we 468 00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:47.760 had and again, yeah, the main event was live this pointing, but 469 00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:51.360 I would go with it beat plus because of the returns. So we had 470 00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:55.199 a title change. But I want to talk about a point real quick that 471 00:34:55.320 --> 00:35:00.480 we were talking about when he starts not being being pushing up, you guys 472 00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:04.840 think with this new two hour week as show, there's another platform for them 473 00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:07.920 to push other stars because they could be on TV more. They don't have 474 00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:12.519 to be on Dark anymore, so he'll get TV time and they can have 475 00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:16.679 significant rivalries and title matches there because we know they're always having title matches. 476 00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:22.039 Do you think that this two hour weekly event would be overexposure or do you 477 00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:25.199 think it's going to be better to help the people who are not being pushed 478 00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:28.960 because this is going to make five hours of AW a week. Now, 479 00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:32.360 do you guys think they have enough talent, enough big stars, and enough 480 00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:37.800 creative to make it last? Man, I'm gonna let you take this one 481 00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:44.280 first. So I think it's gonna be hard, and it depends on their 482 00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:46.960 creative teams at this point if they can keep writing stories that are good enough. 483 00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:52.079 And I feel like it being on a Saturday, that is one of 484 00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:55.360 those nights where you know, I don't want to bring in my childhood really, 485 00:35:55.400 --> 00:35:58.239 but that was one of those nights where you can stay up as a 486 00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:01.239 kid and you could watch wrestling or you know, anything really, So that's 487 00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:05.719 kind of that age deemographic I feel like may come into play because if they 488 00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:07.760 want to see wrestling Saturday night, that's a good time to do it. 489 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.719 Friday night same thing to an extent, but Friday night their show is a 490 00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:15.920 little bit late. I think that it might be the best idea to go 491 00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:20.039 a little bit more PG, not completely PG, but somewhat PG on the 492 00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:23.000 Saturday show and then they may have a little more success their ratingslie. What 493 00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:30.599 do you think, Mark, I think that there is an absolute freaking opportunity 494 00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:34.719 for them to do something with this. Five hours is not too much. 495 00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:39.320 They have the roster, they have everything they need. Now we'll get to 496 00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:44.719 see what AW really is because they're stepping in the big water now, they're 497 00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:49.079 getting in the deep water. They're going forward. So I think over the 498 00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:52.159 next year this is either going to make them, you know, take off, 499 00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:58.400 or it could be the demise. But I'm leaning towards the takeoff. 500 00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:02.760 I think it's going to be just fine that Rocky, you asked the question, 501 00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:10.280 what's your opinions? So this is gonna be two hours of AW wrestling 502 00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:15.599 on a day of the week, because there's no ww wrestling, So we're 503 00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:21.039 gonna come to know Saturday being AW Wrestling Night. Um, unless it's a 504 00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:25.679 w W pl E night, I don't know how how that's gonna competition. 505 00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:32.000 There's gonna go um. AW is trying to do something to separate themselves from 506 00:37:32.599 --> 00:37:36.960 w W and every other promotion. So having this two hour weekly event, 507 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:40.199 it's like having basically a nice little two hour pay per view every week. 508 00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:45.880 Now if they can come up with the creative and keep the talent, you 509 00:37:45.960 --> 00:37:50.559 know, in order to do it. Another way that AW is trying to 510 00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:58.079 deferentiate themselves is they like to license songs. It was revealed that the show's 511 00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:02.800 theme song for Collision was John's classic from good By Yellow Brick Road Saturday Nights 512 00:38:04.039 --> 00:38:07.639 all Right for fighting Now, this is a great underlying song title for the 513 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:15.280 event. And like I said, their licensing songs as well. So Wednesday's 514 00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:22.000 song for Dynamites it's called Light Diffuse, Bring the Boom, and then for 515 00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:29.039 Rampage it's this is Rampage Raby for Friday Night's Rampage Show. With AW just 516 00:38:29.159 --> 00:38:34.599 being about five years into existence, they're continuing to try to different, different, 517 00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:40.480 differentiate themselves from the competition. We hear songs like Jefferson Starship Chain for 518 00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:45.599 Orange Cassidy the Elite have carried on a wayward song, but Kansas and John 519 00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:51.840 Marxley's X version of the Wild Thing. So again, it's up to creative, 520 00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:54.880 it's up to the talent and see if this is going to make or 521 00:38:54.880 --> 00:39:00.880 break the company. Yep, absolutely, man, and a great point to 522 00:39:00.920 --> 00:39:06.400 bring up. Man, Uh, look, we're done with the ship. 523 00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:10.119 Anybody else you got another point or anything? Because I like the way we 524 00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:16.320 were there, because I agree the Saturday Night all right, providing I liked 525 00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:21.119 us. So there again, I think it had something to do with that 526 00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:30.519 English I've announcing the potentially h I haven't really seen too much of who that 527 00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:32.960 announcement was performing, but it sounds like he's got a lot of history. 528 00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:37.840 Unless he was Magnus, but I don't really remember. But no, no, 529 00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:43.000 no, but yeah apparently so I just I guess I call it on 530 00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:46.039 to afterwards. I it's kind of like you, uh, you have a 531 00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:50.559 little funny after taste in your mouth, And that was what he kind of 532 00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:53.679 kind of left a little weird kind of when I was listening to him, 533 00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:57.679 it just just didn't seem right. But as I said, I'll give it 534 00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:01.079 time. I will give it time, and then I'm still excited to see 535 00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:08.280 if screw up this concessions concession stand brawl they got coming up. So I 536 00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:12.039 think the week we're gonna have a pretty good week. Uh, you know, 537 00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:17.039 coming up with everybody w W and uh ah, maybe we'll be the 538 00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:23.079 reciprocent of some good, good shows this week. Uh. Main, guys, 539 00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:30.679 you know we can shut her down now because we've done an actual collision 540 00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:37.360 review. I'm pretty excited. What about you looking forward to what's coming forward? 541 00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:39.719 Like I said, this was dropped in our laughs literally yesterday morning, 542 00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:44.840 on the morning of the pay per view debut. Uh, you know, 543 00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:49.199 the gardener reached out to you, to me, to Matt. We got 544 00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:52.400 the green light. Um circumstance happened. Just life happened, you know, 545 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:58.079 with us our time zones get away from us. Luckily with Magick being out 546 00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:00.119 out of the country, he was a very lible at this time for us, 547 00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:02.400 so we can fill them in. Um, I know we got he 548 00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:05.880 got to watch the show and you know, and got a lot of good 549 00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:07.920 notes on it. I mean, you pretty much watched the highlights of it 550 00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:13.960 and check our notes based on that um. But with being as passionate as 551 00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:15.559 we are about wrestling, we don't have to watch every single minute of it 552 00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:20.400 because we can speak to it from our heart. So we'll just again, 553 00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:22.639 just like with the returns that we got today, with the new debut of 554 00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:25.559 Collision, We're gonna see where that goes for the company, and we'll see 555 00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:30.280 where this goes for us. We'll see if we're gonna have the same three 556 00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:32.320 man booth next week or if it'll be a four man booth or two man 557 00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:38.760 booth, or we don't know yet, never can tell. And Rocky, 558 00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:44.599 I think we both owe an appreciation to Maverick for stepping in here, stepping 559 00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:51.320 up late, and we very much appreciate, we actually appreciate your service each 560 00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:54.079 and every day that you do. Uh And we wanted to say thank you 561 00:41:54.199 --> 00:42:01.559 for filling in for your freaking uncle Man. I appreciate that Guy's really appreciate 562 00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:04.519 you guys having me on the show. It's been a lot of fun. 563 00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:07.679 But I just have one question for you guys, because I was wondering as 564 00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:12.000 soon as see him punk walked out, do you think he actually has the 565 00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:17.280 title in that bag. What it was? Yeah, yes, I think 566 00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:23.079 he has his replica, the one with his name played on it. I 567 00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:27.280 think he does. I'm surprised he didn't pull it out, but I'm glad 568 00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:31.159 he didn't pull it out because just the visual or you know, his words, 569 00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:36.079 you knew what he meant. Yeah, that was a little old school 570 00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:37.880 kind of moved. He's got it there, he doesn't have it. I 571 00:42:37.960 --> 00:42:40.719 don't know. We'll have to wait and see because we're gonna have to tune 572 00:42:40.760 --> 00:42:47.280 in next week. So no, go ahead, Mabi. I was just 573 00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:51.039 saying, right, you don't know. It's building a suspense. It's kind 574 00:42:51.039 --> 00:42:52.760 of a nice touch. Yeah, yeah, there's a little old school. 575 00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:57.440 It's axou see, a little old school being brought back into modern day. 576 00:42:58.199 --> 00:43:01.440 Oh well, look, man, got I think we're good here. We 577 00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:07.079 can go ahead and shut her down and then say her goodbyes because we're doing 578 00:43:07.159 --> 00:43:14.320 good and I'm scared we're gonna screw it. So every usual would like to 579 00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:16.239 say goodbye or say hello to anyone or whatever you'd like to do. My 580 00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:20.719 friend, all right, So first off, I'd like to give a shout 581 00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:22.639 out to my dad. Not sure if he'll really be too big into the 582 00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:25.800 context of it. He's not really wrestling fan, but happy Father's Day to 583 00:43:25.920 --> 00:43:30.000 your dad. You know, I always been there, always got my number 584 00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:34.039 one supporter. I also want to say, uh, well, I kind 585 00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:37.239 of a horse shoodbye to a friend of mine names Brian Griffin. He's the 586 00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:39.840 one who gave me the nickname Maintenance Maverick. He's one of the only wrestling 587 00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:43.440 fans out here that I've really talked to about wrestling and everything. And he's 588 00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:49.320 going to be pcsing soon, so it's unfortunate, but road's gonna be good 589 00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:54.239 for him ahead. So see on the other side, buddy, you want 590 00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:58.400 to let anybody hid a note to reach you on social media? Do you 591 00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:04.280 have any plus about anything? So I'm gonna be looking into how to change 592 00:44:04.280 --> 00:44:09.159 my Twitter handle into Memphis Maverick.
